HOWZAT?!?!

I have crushes on some of England's cricket team members. My favourites are Andrew Flintoff and Steven Harmison and also Matthew Hoggard. They're much cuter than the baseball players in the States, for the most part. England beat South Africa in the test series they were playing in S.A... I listened to the end of it as I was having my root canal finished at the Dentist's office.

When I first got into the room with Dr. McCaw, I told him that I was concerned about the amount of money it was costing. Now, those of you who know me know that when I think I sound calm in my head, I sound upset to whom I'm speaking to. That wasn't the case here, I assure you, cos I wasn't upset at all. But Dr. McCaw got all pissy and defensive when I told him that I had called a dentist's office near my work and they quoted me prices that were significantly less, and that I would save £250 there. He said "well then forget it, why don't you just go there now!" (Scottish temper flaring up!) and I said that, no, I'd like to have him finish it because he'd already started it, but that I wanted to explain myself and give him a reason today of why I probably wouldn't be going back in the future. So, he got started on my tooth. I was real nervous cos I thought he probably wouldn't care about hurting me, etc if he thought I was not coming back anyway. But he did a fine job, and at the end when I went to pay, he had charged me £200 less than I was expecting! Awww! But I still think I'll be signing up with the dentist by my work since it would be more conveniant and the prices are better. Dentistry is so much different here than in the U.S.
